Thredded

A forum that runs inside your application, against the users you already have.

What you get

• Messageboards, topics and posts with Markdown or BBCode
• Private messages between users
• Moderation: locking, pinning, deleting, user blocking
• Read-state tracking per user
• Search, and per-board permissions

Mounting it

# Gemfile
gem "thredded"

# config/routes.rb
mount Thredded::Engine => "/forum"

The account argument

Hosted community software gives your users a second account to create and a second
password to forget, on a domain that is not yours. Mounting the forum means the
person posting is the same record as the person paying you.
